Kite Micro-Service Framework

Kite is a framework for developing micro-services in Go.

GoDoc Build Status

Kite

Kite is both the name of the framework and the micro-service that is written by using this framework. Basically, Kite is a RPC server as well as a client. It connects to other kites and peers to communicate with each other. They can discover other kites using a service called Kontrol, and communicate with them. The communication protocol uses a websocket as transport in order to allow web applications to connect directly to kites.

Kites can talk with each other by sending dnode messages over a websocket. If the client knows the URL of the server kite it can connect to it directly. If the URL is not known, client can ask for it from Kontrol.

Install and Usage

Install the package with:

go get github.com/koding/kite

Import it with:

import "github.com/koding/kite"

and use kite as the package name inside the code.

What is Kontrol?

Kontrol is the service registry and authentication service used by Kites. It is itself a kite too.

When a kite starts to run, it can registers itself to Kontrol with the Register() method if wished. That enables others to find it by querying Kontrol. There is also a Proxy Kite for giving public URLs to registered kites.

Query has 7 fields:

/<username>/<environment>/<name>/<version>/<region>/<hotname>/<id>
  • You must at least give the username.
  • The order of the fields is from general to specific.
  • Query cannot contains empty parts between fields.

How can I use kites from a browser?

A browser can also be a Kite. It has it's own methods ("log" for logging a message to the console, "alert" for displaying alert to the user, etc.). A connected kite can call methods defined on the webpage.

See kite.js library for more information.

How can I write a new kite?

  • Import kite package.
  • Create a new instance with kite.New().
  • Add your method handlers with k.HandleFunc() or k.Handle().
  • Call k.Run()

Below you can find an example, a math kite which calculates the square of a received number:

package main

import "github.com/koding/kite"

func main() {
	// Create a kite
	k := kite.New("math", "1.0.0")

	// Add our handler method with the name "square"
	k.HandleFunc("square", func(r *kite.Request) (interface{}, error) {
		a := r.Args.One().MustFloat64()
		result := a * a    // calculate the square
		return result, nil // send back the result
	}).DisableAuthentication()

	// Attach to a server with port 3636 and run it
	k.Config.Port = 3636
	k.Run()
}

Now let's connect to it and send a 4 as an argument.

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/koding/kite"
)

func main() {
	k := kite.New("exp2", "1.0.0")

	// Connect to our math kite
	mathWorker := k.NewClient("http://localhost:3636/kite")
	mathWorker.Dial()

	response, _ := mathWorker.Tell("square", 4) // call "square" method with argument 4
	fmt.Println("result:", response.MustFloat64())
}

Overview

Package kite is a library for creating micro-services. Two main types implemented by this package are Kite for creating a micro-service server called "Kite" and Client for communicating with another kites.

kontrolclient implements a kite.Client for interacting with Kontrol kite.

Package server implements a HTTP(S) server for kites.

Types

type Auth 

type Auth struct {
	// Type can be "kiteKey", "token" or "sessionID" for now.
	Type string `json:"type"`
	Key  string `json:"key"`
}

Authentication is used when connecting a Client.

type Client 

type Client struct {
	// The information about the kite that we are connecting to.
	protocol.Kite

	// A reference to the current Kite running.
	LocalKite *Kite

	// Credentials that we sent in each request.
	Auth *Auth

	// Should we reconnect if disconnected?
	Reconnect bool

	// SockJS base URL
	URL string

	// Should we process incoming messages concurrently or not? Default: true
	Concurrent bool

}

Client is the client for communicating with another Kite. It has Tell() and Go() methods for calling methods sync/async way.

func (*Client) Close 

func (c *Client) Close()

func (*Client) Dial 

func (c *Client) Dial() (err error)

Dial connects to the remote Kite. Returns error if it can't.

func (*Client) DialForever 

func (c *Client) DialForever() (connected chan bool, err error)

Dial connects to the remote Kite. If it can't connect, it retries indefinitely. It returns a channel to check if it's connected or not.

func (*Client) Go 

func (c *Client) Go(method string, args ...interface{}) chan *response

Go makes an unblocking method call to the server. It returns a channel that the caller can wait on it to get the response.

func (*Client) GoWithTimeout 

func (c *Client) GoWithTimeout(method string, timeout time.Duration, args ...interface{}) chan *response

GoWithTimeout does the same thing with Go() method except it takes an extra argument that is the timeout for waiting reply from the remote Kite. If timeout is given 0, the behavior is same as Go().

func (*Client) OnConnect 

func (c *Client) OnConnect(handler func())

OnConnect registers a function to run on connect.

func (*Client) OnDisconnect 

func (c *Client) OnDisconnect(handler func())

func (*Client) RemoteAddr 

func (c *Client) RemoteAddr() string

func (*Client) SetUsername 

func (c *Client) SetUsername(username string)

func (*Client) Tell 

func (c *Client) Tell(method string, args ...interface{}) (result *dnode.Partial, err error)

Tell makes a blocking method call to the server. Waits until the callback function is called by the other side and returns the result and the error.

func (*Client) TellWithTimeout 

func (c *Client) TellWithTimeout(method string, timeout time.Duration, args ...interface{}) (result *dnode.Partial, err error)

TellWithTimeout does the same thing with Tell() method except it takes an extra argument that is the timeout for waiting reply from the remote Kite. If timeout is given 0, the behavior is same as Tell().

type Error 

type Error struct {
	Type    string `json:"type"`
	Message string `json:"message"`
	CodeVal string `json:"code"`
}

Error is the type of the kite related errors returned from kite package.

func (Error) Code 

func (e Error) Code() string

func (Error) Error 

func (e Error) Error() string

type Event 

type Event struct {
	protocol.KiteEvent
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Event is the struct that is emitted from Kontrol.WatchKites method.

func (*Event) Client 

func (e *Event) Client() *Client

Create new Client from Register events. It panics if the action is not Register.

type EventHandler 

type EventHandler func(*Event, *Error)

type Handler 

type Handler interface {
	ServeKite(*Request) (result interface{}, err error)
}

Objects implementing the Handler interface can be registered to a method. The returned result must be marshalable with json package.

type HandlerFunc 

type HandlerFunc func(*Request) (result interface{}, err error)

HandlerFunc is a type adapter to allow the use of ordinary functions as Kite handlers. If h is a function with the appropriate signature, HandlerFunc(h) is a Handler object that calls h.

func (HandlerFunc) ServeKite 

func (h HandlerFunc) ServeKite(r *Request) (interface{}, error)

ServeKite calls h(r)

type Kite 

type Kite struct {
	Config *config.Config

	// Log logs with the given Logger interface
	Log Logger

	// SetLogLevel changes the level of the logger. Default is INFO.
	SetLogLevel func(Level)

	// Contains different functions for authenticating user from request.
	// Keys are the authentication types (options.auth.type).
	Authenticators map[string]func(*Request) error

	// MethodHandling defines how the kite is returning the response for
	// multiple handlers
	MethodHandling MethodHandling

	TLSConfig *tls.Config

	Id string // Unique kite instance id
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Kite defines a single process that enables distributed service messaging amongst the peers it is connected. A Kite process acts as a Client and as a Server. That means it can receive request, process them, but it also can make request to other kites.

Do not use this struct directly. Use kite.New function, add your handlers with HandleFunc mehtod, then call Run method to start the inbuilt server (or pass it to any http.Handler compatible server)

func New

func (*Kite) PostHandleFunc 

func (k *Kite) PostHandleFunc(handler HandlerFunc)

PostHandleFunc is the same as PostHandle. It accepts a HandlerFunc.

func (*Kite) PreHandle 

func (k *Kite) PreHandle(handler Handler)

func (*Kite) Register 

func (k *Kite) Register(kiteURL *url.URL) (*registerResult, error)

Register registers current Kite to Kontrol. After registration other Kites can find it via GetKites() or WatchKites() method. This method does not handle the reconnection case. If you want to keep registered to kontrol, use RegisterForever().

func (*Kite) RegisterForever 

func (k *Kite) RegisterForever(kiteURL *url.URL) error

RegisterForever is equilavent to Register(), but it tries to re-register if there is a disconnection. The returned error is for the first register attempt. It returns nil if ReadNotify() is ready and it's registered succesfull.

func (*Kite) RegisterToProxy 

func (k *Kite) RegisterToProxy(registerURL *url.URL, query *protocol.KontrolQuery)

RegisterToProxy is just like RegisterForever but registers the given URL to kontrol over a kite-proxy. A Kiteproxy is a reverseproxy that can be used for SSL termination or handling hundreds of kites behind a single. This is a blocking function.

func (*Kite) RegisterToTunnel 

func (k *Kite) RegisterToTunnel()

RegisterToTunnel finds a tunnel proxy kite by asking kontrol then registers itselfs on proxy. On error, retries forever. On every successfull registration, it sends the proxied URL to the registerChan channel. There is no register URL needed because the Tunnel Proxy automatically gets the IP from tunneling. This is a blocking function.

func (*Kite) RegisterURL 

func (k *Kite) RegisterURL(local bool) *url.URL

RegisterURL returns a URL that is either local or public. It's an helper method to get a Registration URL that can be passed to Kontrol (via the methods Register(), RegisterToProxy(), etc.) It needs to be called after all configurations are done (like TLS, Port,etc.). If local is true a local IP is used, otherwise a public IP is being used.

func (*Kite) Run 

func (k *Kite) Run()

Run is a blocking method. It runs the kite server and then accepts requests asynchronously. It supports graceful restart via SIGUSR2.

func (*Kite) ServeHTTP 

func (k *Kite) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request)

func (*Kite) ServerCloseNotify 

func (k *Kite) ServerCloseNotify() chan bool

func (*Kite) ServerReadyNotify 

func (k *Kite) ServerReadyNotify() chan bool

func (*Kite) SetupKontrolClient 

func (k *Kite) SetupKontrolClient() error

SetupKontrolClient setups and prepares a the kontrol instance. It connects to kontrol and reconnects again if there is any disconnections. This method is called internally whenever a kontrol client specific action is taking. However if you wish to connect earlier you may call this method.

func (*Kite) SetupSignalHandler 

func (k *Kite) SetupSignalHandler()

SetupSignalHandler listens to signals and toggles the log level to DEBUG mode when it received a SIGUSR2 signal. Another SIGUSR2 toggles the log level back to the old level.

func (*Kite) TrustKontrolKey 

func (k *Kite) TrustKontrolKey(issuer, key string)

Trust a Kontrol key for validating tokens.

func (*Kite) UseTLS 

func (k *Kite) UseTLS(certPEM, keyPEM string)

func (*Kite) UseTLSFile 

func (k *Kite) UseTLSFile(certFile, keyFile string)

func (*Kite) WatchKites 

func (k *Kite) WatchKites(query *protocol.KontrolQuery, onEvent EventHandler) (*Watcher, error)

WatchKites watches for Kites that matches the query. The onEvent functions is called for current kites and every nekite event.
